2008 Founders Award Winner

Lynne Farber
Here is what some of her colleagues have written: “I think it is Lynne’s absolute and unwavering dedication to the care of children that makes her so admirable. I have never known anyone so willing to go above and beyond the call of duty when it benefits one of our patients here at UNC. She will frequently put in 60-70 hour workweeks to accomplish her many tasks and responsibilities and is never reluctant to stay late in order to help a family negotiate the complexities of our medical center. Patients, students, staff and her colleagues quite simply love and adore Lynne. Lynne is a spectacular person. She is a spectacular nurse. She is a spectacular colleague. But most importantly, she is a spectacular and special human being.”
Lynne has been an active member of APSNA since 1998. She has held positions on the Board of Directors twice, serving as the Publications Chair from 2002-06 and now serves as our IS Chair. Having been nominated twice previously in 2002 and 2003, she has made extraordinary contributions to the practice of pediatric surgical nursing, education and medical education. Lynne holds faculty positions in both the schools of nursing and medicine. She has numerous publications and wrote a chapter on tubes in our Pediatric Surgery Nursing textbook as well as served us as an associate editor and an editor of the handbook.
